You just need to find a tired landlord, who wants to retire.

So we'll be selling this one when we retire and it will be my one and only condo purchase.  

NA Martin Congrats on your soon-to-be retirement! 

I imagine that might be a big problem.3) We have $200k, but it is nearly all wrapped up in retirement accounts.

They may restrict plugin use to keep the sites stable though.  

My real estate goals are to help my retirement and/or stop sweating for a living and maybe get some time off every once in a while.

They are selective in the sense that they will weed out the people who do not have $20K in their bank accounts, credit cards, or retirement savings as that is the lowest tier they offer in the mastery program.

Save extra funds, find a good, quick locksmith to re-key locks asap, start a relationship with a real estate, owner-tenant lawyer who can manage the legal situations, understand local laws and what would and would not apply in varied cases, have a stable of vendors and contractors who can do any and all work needed to return the property to desired condition, start a folder with necessary paperwork for court filings, connect with property managers or other owners who can help with information, be prepared to document EVERYTHING, etc. 

The sellers could free up about $50K in cash from retirement accounts, etc., but with the buyer's $30K down that still leaves about $60K that they'd need to pay off their loan + Realtor fees, etc.

So I bought a 91 Honda Accord w/ 140K miles on it for $1k from a retiring coworker, and have already recovered the entire cost from mileage reimbursements at work.
